Another picture post for family

When Seth was a little baby, I remember seeing 15 month old toddlers at church. They're easy to spot: running around, crawling under the pews, jabbering loudly, constantly wriggling out of their parents' grasp, throwing books and goldfish crackers... "Shouldn't he be in nursery?"

I felt afraid to have a 15 month old. And now we do! Although at times our patience is thin, we are having a great time.

$Free$ free play at a gymnastics gym
He often carries books around the house, especially when he's really interested in a particular page.

Seth loves rough housing with Dada. (notice the toy vacuum on the printer haha)

Macaulay Culkin
A few months ago I never thought Seth would be that interested in books, but now he LOVES them and also enjoys getting into his book basket.

Touring Minute Maid Park (where the Astros play) in Houston

Seth's first covered slide ride

He is loving the freedom of better walking skills

Love mama

Love dada


I knew he was being a little too quiet...

Seth learned to say "pull" after checking this book out at the library. He loved the repetition.

24 month PJs from Uncle Allen, Aunt Trina, + family (never thought he'd fit into these- what happened?!!).
 Blankets made by their daughters, Rachel and Abby. What great, young quilters!

First time falling asleep on the floor.

Wearing dad's shirt.
Can you see how much he's growing up?

At 15 months he

  • weighs 24 lbs (55%tile)
  • measures 33" tall (93%tile! maybe there's a reason why Uncle Todd seems to be his favorite lately)
  • has a head circumference in the 90%tile.
  • impresses me daily with new words such as Elmo, cccookkieee, eas- eat, baf- bath, bawf- bread/breakfast, wash, wa wa- water 
  • signs all done and milk
  • repeats family names Todd, Zappy, Bapa (Grandma or Grandpa), Tatie, Nate, Rissa, Tista, Lala. Poor Ben- we're still working on his name!
  • says yay when we finish anything
  • doesn't use a bottle, but does love his pacifier and monkeys
  • walks and sleeps through the night, giving my tired mom body a huge rest
  • enjoys walking around outside- thank you San Antonio spring!
  • looks at books all the time
  • is a pretty happy guy

Oh Heather, he is such a handsome little man! He is getting so big! It's true, this age is so fun, but so exhausting!!
